Although “Priest” details a back story with its opening prologue, this movie, in reality, is one big back story. Just when you’re getting to the interesting plot points, the movie ends. Obviously setting up for a sequel. Unfortunately, there’s not going to be one. And talk about derivative! No wonder this movie feels familiar. You’ve seen it before in The Matrix, The Searchers, Star Wars and Blade Runner to name a few obvious references. “Priest” manages some interesting visuals, a few decent action sequences and capable Paul Bettany and Maggie Q as vampire-battling priests, but the rest of the movie is just silly. Skip it. 5/17/11
